Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 394

Charlotte stared blankly for two seconds, then lowered her head and tried her best not to look in Shane's direction. She was trying to convince herself that this had nothing to do with her.

"What's the matter?" Shane picked up the phone. Whatever he heard made his face darken instantly. "No matter what you do, I want to see results within an hour."

On the other side, Jackson replied with a wry smile, "Mr. Fuller, it's not that I refuse to follow him, but there's simply no other way for me to do so. That man named Christopher is too cunning. He sent my address and information to my enemy. You know that I only care about Josephine in my life. Let's not mention how much she has done for you. I just want to keep her alive."

When Josephine was mentioned, Shane's eyes darkened. "Protecting Josephine and completing your assignment are both your responsibilities."

"Mr. Fuller, I can only try my best."

The sound of the call disconnecting was his only reply.

Shane had hung up.

Charlotte pretended to ask casually, "Who is that guy? I saw the caller ID. I wasn't aware that you knew someone named Jackson."

"I hired him to track Christopher. His people are crafty, so I needed someone seasoned."

"I see." Charlotte smiled. Of course, she chose to believe Shane. Or rather, she had no choice.

Why would a person who should have been tailing Christopher appear in her vicinity? Was Christopher nearby that day? Suspicion bloomed in Charlotte's mind, but she had no proof and could only remain silent.

As soon as Charlotte returned home after work, she received a message from Luciano. Although they had only worked together once, seeing as she and Rick gave him capital, Luciano had become their pawn in Airline Union. His message this time was simple - Emerson Corporation was looking for someone to acquire shares, and they were about to go bankrupt.

Charlotte had been expecting to hear this, but it still took her by surprise. She knew that it was only a matter of time before Emerson Corporation went bankrupt. Countless people, including investors, were circling them covetously.

However, she didn't expect Emerson Corporation to take a nosedive so quickly.

"Can you come forward to buy shares?" Charlotte

asked.

"Of course. However, if I step forward now, would they be suspicious? After all, I was on the verge of bankruptcy earlier."

"It doesn't matter. The money was tunneled from an offshore account that belongs to Jane Corporation. They will not notice that you are on our side."

"If someone asks, how should I answer?"

"You could say that you have a distant relative who went abroad in his early years and worked hard all his life. But before he passed, he realized he was all alone, so he decided to leave a large sum of money to you." This cover story was not fabricated by Charlotte. She had discussed it with Avery and Rick for a long time before settling on this narrative.

On one hand, no one would find out. On the other hand, there were many people with similar experiences in this world.

Only after a lifetime did he realize that he was born with nothing and would die with nothing, thus he entrusted his wealth to an irrelevant person before kicking the bucket.

Luciano thought this was a good idea. He gave a thumbs-up to Charlotte.

Charlotte smiled but did not reply.

The next day.

The situation at Emerson Corporation suddenly improved. Luciano sent a message saying there was no need for the story.

Charlotte was suspicious, so she immediately ordered Peter to investigate.

Christopher came into some money unexpectedly, but the source was unknown. He couldn't find the original investor at all. Simply put, it was very likely that this money was stolen. Even if the money was acquired legitimately, it might have belonged to a bad person.
